It appears my iMac was built during the timeframe of bad hard drives and Apple sent me an e-mail offering to replace it for free. The downside is that they will not transfer the data from the old to the new without charge. I use Carbonite, but that doesn't back up everything. I have downloaded SuperDuper at Leo LaPortes (The Tech Guy) suggestion as a way to copy everything onto an external drive. It looks like an easy solution. My question is, what external drive do you suggest. Currently there is a 1 tb drive in my machine will it also back up Parallels and any Windows programs I have? I only use Quicken & Quicbooks on the Windows side. On the tech/nerd scale I'm about a -2, but I'm comfortable doing this...and if I get into a little trouble the IT guy at my wifes office can help.
